PAX East 2022: Kao the Kangaroo Release Date Announced With New Trailer

Tate Multimedia has announced that their remake of the Sega Dreamcast hit Kao the Kangaroo will release early this Summer on May 27th. Originally released in 2000, the remake was announced earlier this year.

Imagine a game that is a mix between Spyro and Super Lucky’s Tale with a little bit of that old school Looney Tunes boxing kangaroo that knocks out Sylvester and you have Kao the Kangaroo.

Setting out to find his missing sister and solve the mystery of what happened to his long-lost father, players will join Kao as he picks up his magical boxing gloves and travels the world confronting famous fighting masters who are under the influence of disturbing, dark power, all while exploring a colourful and vibrant world alive with activity and visual flair. 

“We’ve been blown away by the response we’ve had from gamers since we announced Kao the Kangaroo was making a return earlier this year,” says Kaja Borowko, Head of Studio. “With this new chapter, we’ve set out to make sure the new Kao the Kangaroo both honours his previous outings and offers fresh, contemporary gameplay for fans new and old alike. This is a complete reboot for Kao, and we can’t wait to see how people take to it at launch!”

Kao the Kangaroo will release on all consoles and PC May 27.
